This invention relate s to a doll, one of the objects being to provide a device of this character certain portions of which are proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterde scribed and claimed, .it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed Without departing from the spirit of the invention; V

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings, 7

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the doll.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22, F igure 1. V

Figure 3 is a section on line 33, Figure 2.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the body portion of the doll having its upper end shaped to provide a head 2. Leg portions 3 are also extended from the body as are arm portions 4. All of these parts can be made of wood or other suitable material. Formed in the top of the head portion 2 is a deep depression or recess 1 the front portion of which has a slot 5 extending to the front surface of the head portion 2. An opening 6 is extended downwardly from the bottom of the recess 4 and opens into a recess 7 which extends upwardly into the body 1 from the bottom thereof. A slot 8 extends rearwardly from the recess 7.

Pivotally mounted'within the slot 5. is a lever .9 having a nose portion 10 at the forward end thereof while the rear portion of the lever which is located within the recess 1 is hooked or otherwise shaped as at 11 for engagement with the looped portion of a wire 13. 1lie,npper endof this wire'is looped through a staple 110i the. like which is driven into the bottom of a hat portion 15. This hat portion can consist of a frusto-conical block 16 mounted on a disk 17 the two parts being held together by the staples or other fastening means 14L.

Vire 13 is extended downwardly within the opening 6 and recess 7 and is adapted to work freely therein. The lower end of the wire is connected to one end of an actuating lever 18 fulcrurned as at 19 within the slot 8. The outer end of this lever is provided with a finger piece 20 or any other suitable means whereby it can be ac tuated readily. A spring 21 is mounted on the wire within the recess 7 and bears at one end against the upper end of the recess 7 and is secured at its other end to the wire. pression so that ittends to hold the hat drawn tightly against the top of the head portion with the nose portion 10 extended forwardly.

By thrusting against the finger piece 20 the inner end of lever 18 will be moved upwardly to cause the wire 13 to moveupwardly against the action of the spring 21. This will cause the'nose portion. 10 to swing downwardly while at the same time the hat portion 15 will be lifted from the head and will be free to wobble relative thereto. Thus an up and down movement of the inner endof lever 18 due to a back and forth movement of the finger piece 20 will result in an up and down movement of the nose portion 10 and a successive raising, wob ling and lowering of the hat portion. The effect is quite amusing and can be used either for entertaining or for advertising purposes.

Spring 21 is constantly under com- 7 It is to be understood of'course that the body and head portions of the doll as well as the nose and hat portions can'be finished in any manner desired.

What is claimed is: V

1. The combination with the body and head portion of a doll having communicating. recesses in the upper and lower portions thereof and slots extending in opposite directions from the respective recesses, of a nose portion connected to and mounted to swing relative to the slotted head portion, a'hat portion mounted on the head portion, an actuating member within the slotted body portion, and means operated by said member for simultaneously shifting the nose portion and the hat portion.

2. The combination With the body and head portionof a doll having communicating recesses in the upper and lower portions thereof and slots extending in opposite directions from the respective recesses, of a nose portion connected to and mounted to swing relative to the slotted head portion, a hat portion mounted on the head portion, an actuating member Within the slotted body portion, means operated by said member for simultaneously shifting the nose portion and the hat portion, and yielding means housed Within the body portion for holding the hat and nose portions normally in predetermined positions relative to the head portion.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
